NAUTILIA – 17/18/19 and 23/24/25 OCTOBER 2026

The largest pre-owned boat show celebrates its 39th edition in Aprilia Marittima, Latisana. Anyone looking to purchase a boat or replace their current one for the 2026 boating season should not miss this major Used Boat Show, located just outside Lignano, where the best opportunities on the market come together. Nautilia will take place over two weekends, from 17–19 October and 23–25 October, at the Cantieri di Aprilia shipyard.

Let's start with the numbers, because they speak for themselves: more than 300 boats are expected at this 39th edition, ranging from luxury yachts over 15 metres in length to smaller boats between 6 and 10 metres, representing dozens of leading boatbuilders. The most important boat dealers and yacht brokers from the Upper Adriatic will also be attending, making the event an ideal opportunity to exchange ideas, strengthen business relationships, and present new proposals for the 2026 edition.

The event will also feature exhibitors specialising in marine equipment and boating accessories, where visitors will find everything they need to equip, upgrade and personalise their boats. Nautilia offers a unique opportunity to discover the latest innovations in the boating industry, meet industry professionals and find the boat of their dreams at highly competitive prices.

This year's show will be even larger and more impressive than the previous edition and remains unique in its kind, as all boats are displayed ashore rather than afloat. This allows prospective buyers to inspect every part of the vessel, including the hull below the waterline. Displaying boats on land greatly facilitates the sales process, as buyers can carefully examine the hull and propellers without the expense of hauling the boat out of the water for inspection, often reducing the need for a costly sea trial before signing the purchase agreement.

With well-deserved pride, the event organisers, Nicola Toso and Stefano Rettondini, emphasise that Nautilia continues to grow as a leading commercial event for the pre-owned boating market. Once again, the show is expected to confirm its role as a benchmark for the industry, thanks to an increasing number of boats for sale and the growing interest of both new and experienced boat owners. In addition to showcasing outstanding boats, the exhibition will also offer a programme of cultural events and sustainability initiatives running alongside the show.

Supported by the Regional Department for Productive Activities and Tourism and held under the patronage of the Municipality of Latisana, Nautilia also provides an excellent opportunity to promote the Latisana area and the entire Friulian Riviera—a region rich in natural beauty, environmental treasures, archaeological sites and historical heritage, as well as renowned food, agricultural and wine-producing traditions that are more popular than ever.

We look forward to welcoming you to the 39th edition of Nautilia at the Cantieri di Aprilia in Latisana (Udine), Italy.
